The 3 things you MUST know about fuel contamination!


Water Contamination or AdBlue Contamination

Fuel contaminated with water, irrespective of whether it's petrol or diesel, tends to be an important issue to deal with in a car - particularly in modern common-rail engines.

Putting water or AdBlue in diesel or petrol can easily cause idling difficulties, uneven running, excessive smoke and, if it's not sorted out properly, quite possibly blown injectors. Water in petrol is less complicated to get rid of when compared with water in diesel - this is mostly because diesel is an oil. Having said that we can deal with both cases pretty easily.

Keep in mind that any time the vehicle was run with the water contaminated fuel it will more than likely need a new fuel filter fitted as the previous one will likely be thoroughly water-logged and ineffective.

I'm not actually too keen on working on Sundays, and a couple weeks ago was the same.

He was somewhere in Minehead thus I was there very quickly. As I drove up behind the vehicle and stepped out he explained to me "Praise God! I had my attention on something else and didn't ascertain I have put diesel in my petrol vehicle. I need to know if I brought about any kind of problems by simply starting it?"

How to find out if I put the wrong fuel in my car?

If you’ve just filled up at a petrol station and the cars starts to act a bit strange you might start to wonder if you accidentally put the wrong fuel in it.

Well, there are a few things to can check that will be able to tell you:

  1. How is the car responding? There are some very common misfuel symptoms which can be a good indicator of wrong fuel:
    • Loss of engine power – can feel like the car has run out of fuel
    • A lot of smoke (more than usual)
    • Engine coughing or starting to splutter
    • Won’t start – or keeps stalling.
  2. Look at your fuel receipt. It will state clearly if you filled up with diesel or unleaded. If you don’t have the receipt, you can often return to the petrol station where you filled up and give them the date and time (and pump) where you refueled and they will often be able to give you a VA receipt.
  3. Smell it. Diesel and petrol have very distinctly different smells. Anyone familiar with the motor industry should be able to help you with this. Or you could even get another car to park alongside and smell the fuel caps of both, comparing them to determine what the fuel type is.
  4. Call us to come out and assess the car. In the majority of cases we will be able to tell if the car has been misfueled before beginning work on it. If we discover that the vehicle does not need a fuel drain, you will only be charged a call-out fee.
